No. 27626.—25th April, 1910.—JOHN DUFFILL, of Inglewood, Taranaki, New Zealand, Contractor. Improvements relating to the construction of concrete buildings.

Extract from Specification.—A mould-box for forming the walls comprises two side boards, which are connected to cross-pieces by bolts, one of which works through a slot in the cross-piece.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

(Specification, 6s.)

No. 27632.—27th April, 1910.—ERNEST WILLIAM BLAKE, of 22 Temple Road, South Croydon, Surrey, England, Engineer. Improvements in gas controllers or regulators.

Extract from Specification.—I provide a container for a suitable liquid, such as mercury, in which is immersed a gas-bell, into the interior of which a pipe from the gas-supply main opens. This gas-bell is loaded in any convenient manner so that the gas-bell does not rise until the pressure in the main has reached a certain predetermined point. When this point is reached, the said bell rises, and on its upward movement it is automatically freed of the load which it bears, and also opens the gas-valve by a direct connection therewith. Means are also provided for retaining the gas-bell in the partially raised position independently of the gas-pressure, so that as the said pressure drops, under the normal varying fluctuations in pressure in the gas-main, the bell does not fall, and can be again raised by a slight increase in pressure considerably lower than that which is necessary for lifting it for turning on the valve, owing to the fact that it is not loaded. This second rise of the bell further turns the controlling-valve of the gas-burner so as to extinguish the gas, whereupon the bell drops under its own weight, and the load is again brought to bear upon it.

(Specification, 11s. 6d.)

No. 27633.—27th April, 1910.—MAX GOEHLER, of Cedar Cottage, Vancouver, British Columbia, Civil Engineer. Milk-separators.

Extract from Specification.—The improvements are directed to the application of a high-speed rotating-means direct to the body of the separator-bowl so that the intervention of multiplying mechanism is dispensed with, also to the manner of yielding by mounting the separator-bowl adjacent to its centre of gravity, on the head of the pivot-pin on which it rotates, so as to afford the bowl an opportunity for adjusting itself during rotation. The invention also comprises features in the construction of the bowl itself by which the entering milk is compelled to take up at once the rotatory movement of the vessel.

(Specification, 6s.)

No. 27634.—27th April, 1910.—MAX GOEHLER, of Cedar Cottage, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Civil Engineer. Manually operated high-speed rotors.

Extract from Specification.—The application of the manual effort to compress by means of a pump a fluid, preferably water, and thereafter to supply that compressed fluid to rotate a turbine directly connected to the object which it is desired to impart a high speed of rotation to.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

(Specification, 5s.)

No. 27649.—28th April, 1910.—FRANK STAFFORD JELBART, of Dana Street, Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, Engineer. Improvements in internal-combustion engines.

Extract from Specification.—A flange upon the tail end of the piston working in a corresponding enlargement of the cylinder in conjunction with a non-return valve for the admission of air and ports for the admission of the explosive gaseous mixture from the compression-chamber.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

(Specification, 6s.)

No. 27650.—28th April, 1910.—SYDNEY ASHWORTH HEAP and GEORGE WILLIAM ALLAN, of Christchurch, New Zealand, Commission Agent and Warehouseman respectively. Improved antiseptic attachment for telephone-transmitters.

Extract from Specification.—A circular cap is secured upon the mouth of the transmitter by a metal clip, the antiseptic substance usually employed for such purpose being placed between two discs of gauze located within the cap. The discs are kept in position by a bar secured within the cap.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

(Specification, 2s.)

No. 27654.—5th June, 1909.—ARTHUR GEORGE LLOYD NEIGHBOUR, of Cromer Road, Beaumaris, Victoria, Australia, Civil and Mechanical Engineer. Improvements in sheep-shearing machines.

[NOTE.—This is an application under section 98 of the Act, the date given being the official date of the application in Australia.]

Claims.—(1.) In a sheep-shearing machine and in the means for applying tension to the cutter thereof, the employment of a key pivotally connected to the tensional screw and adapted to be folded flat against the casing and locked against rotation. . . . (5.) In a sheep-shearing machine and in combination, a cutter connected to a motion-bar having tensional means which permit said bar to tilt a crank-side having a stem detachably fitted into a socket in said motion-bar and provided with a roller adapted to rotate upon a fixed plate on the casing. . . . (7.) In a sheep shearing machine and in combination, a non-rotatable saddle adapted to slide vertically in a motion-pillar having around same a sleeve fitted into a correspondingly shaped hole formed in a boss on the motion-bar, a centre-pin in said saddle adapted to bear upon a plate on top of said pillar-sleeve, and internally threaded legs to said saddle adapted to engage with the threads of the tensional screw.

[NOTE.—Here follow eight other claims.]

(Specification, £1.)

No. 27662.—28th April, 1910.—THEODORE UMRATH, of Chicago, Illinois, United States of America, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Auckland, New Zealand. Improvements in milking-machines.

Extract from Specification.—Each milking-machine is a so-called self-contained plant, whereby the air-exhausting means are directly mounted on a cover which is closing the can, and whereby an operative connection is made between the air-exhausting means and valves, which in one position open towards the vacuum, thereby applying suction on the udder of a cow, and in another position breaking the vacuum and opening towards the air, thereby destroying the vacuum partially.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

(Specification, 7s. 6d.)

No. 27669.—3rd May, 1910.—PAUL DESTEFANI, of Kitchener Building, Delvers Street, Johannesburg, Transvaal, Mechanical Engineer. Improvements in devices for burning paraffin-wax or the like for illuminating or other purposes.

Extract from Specification.—I employ a suitable holder for the block of paraffin-wax or other combustible material. The holder is provided with a spring medium to maintain the block of wax in contact with the heated part to liquify it and to move it forward gradually as it is consumed. The burner, or that part of the device which carries the wick, consists of a vertical tube fixed to a disc of vulcanised fibre or other suitable material which is a bad conductor of heat. This tube in its lower portion is made of larger diameter than in its upper portion, and inside the said lower portion is arranged a feeding-wick, which at its lower end is in contact with the molten wax in the holder. The upper portion of the tube provides the passage through which the molten wax passes to the wick proper, which latter surrounds the said upper portion. A cylindrical piece fixed to the aforementioned tube forms a receptacle or cup around the wick in which is received any molten wax unconsumed by the wick. In the cup is arranged a preferablyconcave disc, constructed with a central aperture which permits the wick to pass through it. The disc is preferably perforated to allow of the passage through it into the cup of any wax not consumed by the wick. The cup is provided above the disc with means for controlling the quantity of air permitted to pass to the wick for regulating the candle-power or luminousness of the flame.
